Re: Wrong sort by from

Hi Gabriele,

I can't tell you yet about the UID command, but you can use the sbin/mbexamine command to inspect a mailbox index. Me or a colleague will get back to you about the UID command.

Regards,

Robert

Hi,

 

we found some situations where issuing a "UID SORT (FROM) UTF-8 ALL" the result is not correct, same result on cyrus 2.x and 3.4.2.

As an example I have 4 emails with From (just one from on each email) similar to these:

1- alb@xxxx

2- ale@xxxxx

3- enr@xxxx

4- pos@xxxx

The sort instead returns the UIDS in this order:

1- alb@xxxx

2- pos@xxxx

3- enr@xxxx

4- ale@xxxxx

Same also wiithout UID.

For the second (pos) which should be last, I found the it contains a replyto com@xxxx, but I don't think it should be used by sort.

For the fourth (ale) I can't find anything strange in the headers.

Is there any known issue with sort by from?

Also, how can I extract data from the cyrus.index to check what is contained there?
